THE  GRAND  GOLD  MEDAL  OF  THE  SOCIETY. 

The  Fifth  Annual  Exhibition  of  the  United  States  Agricultural  Society,  will  be  held  on  the  spacious  grounds 
of  the  "  South  Western  Agricultural  and  Mechanical  Association,"  at  Louisville,  Kentucky,  on  Tuesday,  Wednesday, 
Thursday,  Friday,  and  Saturday,  September  1st,  2d,  3d,  4th,  and  5th,  1857.  {^  Announcements,  that  the  Exhibition 
will  take  place  in  October,  are  erroneous,  and  should  be  corrected. 

Encouraged  by  the  continued  success  of  its  former  exhibitions,  and  by  the  approbation  of  the  Agricultural  community, 
the  Society  has  offered  a  list  of  Premiums  to  be  awarded  at  Louisville,  amounting,  in  the  aggregate,  to  Twelve  Thousand 
Dollars,  for  the  various  classes  of  Domestic  Ammals,  Farm  Products,  Fruits,  Flowers,  Native  Wines,  Agricultu- 
ral Implements,  and  Machinery.  The  Society's  National  Trial  of  Implements  will  be  continued  at  Louisville. 
The  awards  of  the  jury,  on  the  Mowers  and  Reapei's,  tried  at  Syracuse,  N.  Y.,  will  be  announced,  and  the  machines  tested 
will  be  on  exhibition. 

Local  committees  of  citizens  of  Louisville  have  been  appointed  to  act  with  the  officers  of  the  Society  in  perfecting 
ai'rangements,  and  Thirty  Thousand  Dollars  have  been  guaranteed  to  meet  expenses.  A  magnificent  Floral  and  Fruit 
Hall,  and  a  spacious  Implement  Hall  have  already  been  erected  on  the  grounds.  This  valuable  co-operation  and  material 
aid,  coupled  with  the  excellence  of  the  selected  location,  and  the  large  amount  of  premiums  offered,  induces  the  expecta- 
tion, that  the  exhibition  of  1857  will  be  superior  to  any  of  its  predecessors. 

Favorable  arrangements  for  the  transportation  of  Stock,  and  other  articles,  will  be  made  with  the  various  railroads. 

The  List  of  Entries,  the  Awards  of  Premiums,  and  the  Proceedings,  will  be  pulilished  in  the  Journal  of  the  Society 
for  1857. 

The  Premium  List,  with  the  names  of  the  Judges,  and  the  Regulations  of  the  Exhibition,  will  be  furnished  on  appli- 
cation to  Col.  L.  A.  Whiteley,  Assistant  Secretary  of  the  United  States  Agricultural  Society,  Louisville,  Kentucky. 

Exhibitors  of  Agricultural  Implements  and  Machinery,  can  obtain  any  desired  information  by  addressing  .Joseph  E. 
Holmes,  Superintendent,  Newark,  Ohio,  until  the  I5th  of  August;  after  that  date,  all  communications  must  be  addressed 
to  Louisville,  Kentucky.  If  exhibitors  delay  their  applications,  it  may  be  a  matter  of  impossibility  to  furnish  steam-power, 
or  to  make  arrangements  to  test,  in  a  thorough  and  satisfactory  manner,  the  tardy  machines.
